RESOLVED - That Cabinet endorsed the
amendments to the Adaptations Policy.
 
REASONS FOR DECISION - The Policy complies
with legislation and provides a framework for administering
adaptations funded through the Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The
policy amendments are in line with the Local Government &
Social Care Ombudsman decision and are based on legislation and
case law.
 
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED –
An alternative option of not amending  the policy was
rejected, as the Council would fail to comply with the Local
Government & Social Care Ombudsman decision and case
law.
 
Please note
that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented
with
immediate
effect by officers.
